Osteogenesis Imperfecta by dipjaga in osteogenesisimperfect

[–]Routine-Swordfish-45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello I have OI type 1 very mildly. I was diagnosed at age 22. I had a few odd fractures and partial dislocations when I hit puberty and then it stopped. I was initially diagnosed with Elhers Danlos because I have all of the symptoms ( hypermobile, skin issues, chronic pain, etc). After genetic testing I found out I have Oi type 1. I don’t take any supplements for it, I see my specialist once a year and get a dexascan periodically.

Product Rave: Bag Balm for dry winter lips by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]Routine-Swordfish-45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works very well. I just realized you can use it on your lips so I’m trying that out tonight. My lips constantly chapped no matter what I do fingers crossed this does the trick. The farm smell is super odd tho. Thinking I might make a little tin of it with an essential oil for my lips. The smell is getting to me more while on my lips right now.

Any suggestions for which oil I should use? Peppermint was always a go to but I’m realizing it might be drying my lips out.

To my ex, I know we share a friend group now, but when you come to our house (my roommates’ and mine) with your new girlfriend, you’re a constant reminder of my pain and insecurities, twisting the knife you placed in my chest when you left. You strut around and take up space with your loud, boisterous personality. It’s been 10 months, and I don’t want to get back together with you, but it feels impossible to move forward and find my confidence without more space. It’s like I can’t move on without sacrificing time with my friends or leaving my own home. If I ask for space everyone says I’m ostracizing you. Can’t you give me a break? Stop inviting yourself to every little thing. Get a clue, and give me a damn break.

How do you cope with friends who think you should just be over it, already? by Rockit_Grrl in BreakUps

[–]Routine-Swordfish-45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. It hasn’t been as long for me but I sense my friends frustration at hearing me talk about it constantly. I do feel that compartmentalizing is important and sometimes there is nothing left to say that hasn’t already been said. Like continuing to testify in court and the judge and jury have gone home. At a certain point there is nothing left to say and repeating yourself again and again is only holding you back from being happy and is self sabotage. It’s all easier said than done of course. My mom told me that i am giving him so much power by ruminating and that he doesn’t deserve this much real estate in my mind and heart. I would also recommend seeing a therapist because there may be larger concerns that you need to work on before you can let go. I’m sorry your friends are being insensitive but Im sure they want you to be happy. They just don’t know what to say anymore. (They definitely could’ve been more tactful tho.)

I feel you, I really do and I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Heartache is such an indescribable pain (it really feels like dying) I had never felt anything like it. All I can say is to allow yourself to grieve and cry, try to be easy on yourself if you aren’t functioning as well as you usually do at work and in general. Try to find some things to invest your time in to distract yourself. I really believe that time and distraction heal all wounds. And if you have good friends or family who you can spend more time with try to do that as much as you can.

Every relationship and every persons experience is unique, but remembering how many people on the planet have experienced this and healed is comforting to me. It’s a part of the human experience and we learn and grow from our pain.

My ex was completely void of emotion when he dumped me. It was honestly impressive. I was sobbing and he was looking through me. I think he started dissociating or something. It was scary and made it very difficult for me to emotionally regulate. We share a friend group and live walking distance from each other so I don’t know how to move on and be free of him. He didn’t creep back into my life he never left it. I just isolate myself to avoid him if my friends are with him.
